Mimi Does Disney

Nestled in the heart of Magic Kingdom’s Fantasyland, Be Our Guest Restaurant offers an enchanting dining experience like no other. As a tribute to Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, this eatery allows guests to step inside the iconic Beast’s castle and be immersed in a world of elegance, delicious food, and Disney magic.

Step Into the Story

The moment you approach Be Our Guest, you’re transported into the world of Beauty and the Beast. From the towering castle exterior to the stone gargoyles guarding the entrance, every detail sets the stage for a grand adventure. Once inside, guests have the chance to dine in one of three gorgeously themed rooms: the grand Ballroom, the mysterious West Wing, or the majestic Castle Gallery. Each room offers a unique atmosphere, making you feel like a royal guest in the Beast’s enchanted castle. The Ballroom features glittering chandeliers and high, vaulted ceilings with a view of softly falling snow outside, while the West Wing, cloaked in shadows, is a moody space where you can glimpse the enchanted rose.

A Dining Experience Fit for Royalty

Be Our Guest serves French-inspired cuisine, with a prix fixe menu for lunch and dinner. It’s a culinary journey that matches the sophistication of the setting. The meal begins with a selection of hors d’oeuvres, from the decadent French onion soup to lobster bisque. The main course offerings are equally impressive, with dishes like filet mignon, herb-crusted lamb, and pan-seared sea scallops. There’s also a robust plant-based option, featuring a flavorful leek and potato soup followed by a savory vegetable dish.

And for dessert, the restaurant offers a selection of treats, including the Grey Stuff, a fan-favorite that lives up to its famous line from the movie: “Try the Grey Stuff, it’s delicious!” The Grey Stuff is a whipped cookies-and-cream concoction served atop a chocolate tart, offering the perfect sweet ending to your meal.

Immersive Disney Magic

One of the highlights of dining at Be Our Guest is the opportunity to meet the Beast himself! While he doesn’t visit the tables, the Beast makes grand appearances in his castle, providing perfect photo opportunities. The subtle yet enchanting touches, like dimming lights and flickering candelabras, truly make you feel like part of the story.
